A very classy hotel and executed quite superbly.

“Great choice for Buenos Aires”

Near the centre of San Telmo, this is an excellent choice for exploring BA. The hotel is what you would expect from a boutique hotel; very modern, very chic and attention to detail in the design is impecable. A wide range of facilities and very helpful, English speaking staff. Although marketed as a gay friendly hotel, Axel is also extremely... More

“Terrific Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 11, 2012

The Axel exceeded all our expectations. A first rate classy hotel with smart design. We especially liked the two pools and deck area. After spending 22 days traveling around South America and staying at some half dozen hotels, we felt most relaxed and comfortable at the Axel. The hotel is also within walking distance to most of the areas of... More

“Nice option for Buenos Aires”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 1, 2012

t is a good choice for visits in pairs, alone or business in Buenos Aires. The rooms are very clean with adequate and modern furniture. The staff has improved since my first stay and most are very nice people and discreet. The neighborhood is San Telmo, an old district of the city. Very close to Puerto Madero. Many cabs just... More

“This place is amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 13, 2012

I've booked only one night at this hotel, and it was a mistake, because this place is amazing! First, you have to know that this is a gay hotel. Depending on which website you are booking on, this is not always clear. But if you're not gay, don't worry, their slogan is "hetero friendly", and it's real! Actually, most of... More

“Hotel getting worn down”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

I stayed here twice in the last 6 months and noticed from one stay to the next that this hotel is showing its age and needs some refurbishing. It's an excellently designed hotel with great style, is in a great location in Buenos Aires, but management needs to put some money into the upkeep of the rooms and facilities. The... More

“Getting old!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2012

The original idea and concept were probably very trendy but the room was geeting ild with a lot of renovation to be made. Walls in bath rooms and toilets were very dirty. The room was very small (difficult to put 2 luggages). There is also a problem of noise: you have the choice between the noise of the street and... More

“Good Hotel, poor neighborhood”

I recently stayed at the Axel Hotel in Buenos Aires and at the beginning I was afraid of the barking dog in front and the noise come from San Telmo Street. One thing is that the dog was barking but we were on the 4th floor, which really didn't bother us at all, but I figure some people on the... More

Thank you for taking the time to communicate to us informing the reasons why our establishment did not meet your expectations. We regret that you were not able to check pictures of the hotel before processing your booking.
